Details for Saturday onwards
Dear Jagatheesan
Welcome to the September 2018 session of our 10 week meditation course.
The course takes place in our online Course Campus and you can
access our site from Saturday 29th September at the following location:
https://course.org/campus
You have been pre-registered as a participant in the September course.
To log-in, click on the ‘September 2018 Meditation Course’ link or the site
log-in at the top of the page.

Please note that these are case-sensitive and must be
entered exactly as given here. (If you wish, you can change
your password by editing your profile once you are logged-in.)
New material appears on the course site every day during our
10 week course. There is usually a longer reading when a new
meditation technique is introduced and shorter pieces on other
days to help place the practices in context. There is also a
contemplative piece drawn from the Dhammapada each day.
Our main concern is that you are able to devote most of your time
to actually practising meditation. We hope that by the end of the
course you will have the tools that are necessary to build a
sustainable practice and be aware of the plentiful riches of this
living tradition.
The course audio material is incorporated into the readings as we work
through the sessions. Streaming audio files are available for most new
techniques as they are introduced and can be downloaded for personal
use on your computer, tablet or mp3 player. The audio material should
be used in conjunction with the daily texts - and please be sure to read
the instruction texts first. Guided meditations are intended only for use
in the first few sittings of a new practice and should not be relied upon in
the long-term. As soon as you feel familiar with a technique’s basic
structure try to work without the audio guide.
We hope you enjoy the course and find it productive. If you have any
meditation questions or technical queries please send them only to:
csupport@vipassana.com
This is a priority e-mail address for the course that ensures your message
will be seen in a timely way. You may find it helpful to check the “In
Practice…” database of previously asked questions first.
We will try to respond to queries as quickly as possible.
Please note that we are based in the UK and any references
to times and dates refer to Greenwich Mean Time/Universal Time.
This is exactly at the half-way point in the range of World
time zones. The course can be accessed at times to suit your
location; there is never a need to be online at a specific time.
If you change your e-mail address during the course, please update
your profile on the course website and let us know separately by
e-mail. This will ensure that we can contact you with any important
notices as the course progresses.
Remember: You will get most from the course if you visit the site
each day. There is new material displayed for each of the 70 days.
The daily material remains available to you throughout the course
and for one month after this session’s scheduled ending. You can
print or save any of the daily material for your personal use.
Enjoy the course!

As we begin our journey together
Dear Jagatheesan
Welcome to the September 2018 session and the first day of our meditation
course. It is good to have you with us and I hope you will enjoy the experience.
There’s new material every day on the course site so it is best if you can visit
each day. The most important thing is to begin a daily practice and I hope
that the daily material will provide clear guidance and some encouragement as
we work together through these 10 weeks. You can contact me by e-mail at any
time if there are issues that arise from your sittings or if you have questions
about the practices. There’s also a searchable database called “In Practice” that
has questions and replies from some earlier courses. The most frequent basic
questions are probably already featured there.
My advice for the course is to work steadily but gently. Don’t feel that everything
has to be mastered immediately; much of this is the foundation for a lifetime of
developing practice rather than a quick fix. It is hoped that the course will stretch
everyone a little whether you are new to meditation or a seasoned veteran. We
work in different ways, over the weeks, and some methods will come easier to
some people than others. You may well be surprised by the approaches that suit
you best. Try to work in an open-minded and inquisitive way - and just see what
happens. This is a process of exploration rather than a submission to particular
dogmas. We do provide enough of the doctrinal context to help you begin to see
how the various elements form part of a consistent path but there is certainly no
need to swap one cherished belief for another. Gentle but regular engagement
with your meditation practice will produce positive results and useful challenges,
over time. It is the practice that matters.
We sent the access details for the course by e-mail, earlier, and I hope they
arrived. If you don’t seem to have received them please check your spam folder
(particularly if you use one of the web mail services) and contact us if you need it
to be re-sent. We can send it to an alternative address if you prefer.
I hope the course will be of great benefit to you. I look forward to getting to know
you in the coming weeks.
(Please note that all course support requests must be sent to csupport@vipassana.com
rather than any of our other addresses. This is a priority address that ensures your
message will be seen in a timely way.)
With metta,
Andrew
